Description:

A woman struggles to find a career, but finally lands a job as a secretary. She then falls in love with her handsome boss …

Eun-Sul applies for job after job, but is passed over because she graduated from a third-rate university and doesn’t possess a sparkling resume. In high school, Eun-Sul was notorious for fighting and fighting well. Then one day she decided to live her life the right way. She started to study hard and was able to pass a university entrance exam, even though the university wasn’t prestigious. While attending university, Eun-Sul continued to study hard and also worked part-time jobs to pay her tuition fees. Now out in the real world, Eun-Sul finds landing a job extremely difficult.

One day, Eun-Sul receives a phone call and is informed she got the job. Eun-Sul becomes elated, but unbeknownst to her, the company that hired her is a loan sharking firm.

Ji-Hun seems to be the perfect guy. He is from a wealthy family, is physically attractive, and works for the company which his father runs. But actually, Ji-Hun isn’t interested in the family’s company. Ji-Hun is also frightened to speak in front of others and being around strangers. He has ochlophobia – a fear of crowds, as well as agoraphobia – a fear of having a panic attack and embarrassing oneself. Neither his father nor his grandmother know of his condition. Ji-Hun isn’t social because of his phobia and doesn’t associate with others at the company. He’s also a germaphobe, and appears to be developing more neuroses as manifestations of the anxiety he feels over working for his father, whose main style of parenting, and living, is bullying.
